Monty Panesar's Political Stint Over In One Week
Former England spinner Monty Panesar has ended his political stint in just one week as he announced that he is withdrawing as a parliamentary candidate for George Galloway's Workers Party of Great Britain. The 42-year-old Panesar was unveiled by Galloway amid much fanfare in Westminster last week. The former left-arm spinner was due to contest the Ealing Southall seat in West London at the next general election. Panesar, however, decided to withdraw his candidacy after a series of challenging media interviews, in one of which he struggled to offer an opinion on the UK's continued membership of NATO.
